B20 Cam identification help needed 120-130

All agreed with Phil, barring one thing... My experience, backed up by the specifications of the two cams, is that the vv61(street torqueIPD) & C cam have more roughly similar rev ranges than he indicates.
The statistic of lobe separation (of 108 vs the c's 111) gives a shorter but higher-peaking torque curve, and the faster opening and closing ramps more than cancel the 256 vs 264 duration figures. If your driving style tends to see only a range from 1900-4000, like mine, this is a good cam.

Also, I would strongly state that *if* the selection if Isky cams has something in your intended RPM range there is no advantage at all in going to Swedish cams. Unitek's are made by http://www.enem.se (I am using one) and KG Trimings seem good but may have slower ramps than Isky's.
